Change is the only absolute
in the world,
the only thing
that you can depend on.
Nothing stays the same.
Tomorrow will come,
bringing with it
new beginnings and sometimes
unexpected endings.
You can hold on to the past
and get left in the dust,
Or, you can choose to
jump on the ride of life
and live a new adventure
with perseverance and
an open mind.
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
We're facing a change within the internship at Camp David. One of us is leaving, moving on. At first all I could think about was how different it will be, how much harder, how it won't be like we had planned. But then God reminded me of something that was said, that "God saw this coming. It wasn't a surprise to Him." This is all part of God's plan. If we focus on the differences from how it has been, and how it will be, and view the future in a negative way, we won't be able to fully experience what God has planned for us. And He has some pretty interesting times ahead for all of us! Already we're seeing a shift in our lives, we're seeing how God is changing us. This next chapter is going to be filled with new experiences, different challenges, new people, and a different dynamic among us. It's exciting, and we're ready to see what God has in store for us! We're grateful for the time the three of us have been given, from the first night when we talked till all hours of the morning, to the spontaneous trips to town, to the dinner table conversations. It has been up and down, it's been filled with laughter, tears, and good times. We will miss Julia, but we know she has some pretty amazing things ahead of her, and we wish her the best!
This isn't an ending, it's a new beginning for all of us.
